almost done

Very impressive, pn. That looks like a terrific outdoors knife. The grinds are particularly amazing, given that it's your first time. I look forward to seeing the finished product.

A kydex sheath would work nicely with that design, but the mosaic pins and natural Micarta really scream for leather, in my opinion - either a dangler with a firesteel loop, or a nice, simple pouch sheath.

Anyway, this will definitely be a knife worth holding on to and looking back on. My first knife looked like a train wreck compared to yours!

All the best,

- Mike

did you also do the heat treat?

great looking handles by the way

 

[tonym]

I think you did a fine Job P.N.

The knife reminds me of a foxriver with a contoured handle! One of the most handy blade shapes IMO!

Do you have a spine shot, showing the contours?

just to let you guys know it is a hollow grind not flat

If I had to describe a pattern for my ideal knife, it would look about like that. Very nice.:thumbup:

Amen to that! :thumbup: Wow! Simple, straightforward functional design. Pure sweetness on that blade!

 

[benbuskey]

looks great so far. keep us updated. I am also starting on my first knife and plan on picking the brains of much more skilled gentlemen like yourselves.

What size wheel did you use to grind that thing? It looked flat ground to me too..

Lookin good!

 

[Mistwalker]

Fine looking blade, love the lines and grinds, handle countours look comfy and grippy. Great job, one heck of a first effort.

Brilliant first effort, if my first was that good I'd have given up my day job.

Great looking knife!!:thumbup:
I can hardly believe that it is your first .

just to let you guys know it is a hollow grind not flat

I like a flat grind or convex better for bushcraft.
Not everything I do in the bush is gentle slicing.

 

[tonym]
